Carrying on the Work

The time for the 'going back on the ferry' is rapidly approaching (Friday) so Giles and Dave are getting a little concerned as to whether they will finish the job tomorrow...

It doesn't look as if much has happened, but bear in mind there was nothing in the electricity line in the shop...

Now there is a light in every room, including the cellar and attic, and plug sockets everywhere.

From the outside the roof is being done by Luke Feasey and his team, but I can only show you the scaffolding, as I don't have a helicopter...

Power to the People!

Well, the shop, actually, ...

...Giles and Dave are over here for a couple of weeks to put the electrics in the shop. Here they are hard at it:

and here are a couple of pics of what's going on upstairs...

...from the stairs end...

...and from the front window end.

Napoleon Coin

I almost forgot to tell you! Ian found this coin under a beam, on the wall at the edge of the shop floor. Could have been placed there deliberately as a 'good luck' token, or perhaps lost by a customer all those years ago and rolled down at crack at the edge of the floorboards.

It's a five-centime piece, dated 1854!
